Stamper (1907-1995) was born in Dublin, New Hampshire and studied at the New Hampshire State Normal School and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She moved to New York in 1928 and continued her studies at the Arts Students League with William Merritt Chase. Her surrealist and abstract works were informed by the natural world around her, including the tropical flora and fauna of her adopted Captiva Island home, where she moved in 1947 and lived for the remainder of her life. Stamper was a close friend and greatly admired by the artist Robert Rauschenberg, the main property owner of Captiva Island by the 1980s.
